Every time I watch The Cannonball Run, I notice this Rolls Royce parked in the lot the afternoon the race starts. This shows that another Rolls Royce should be in the race, not just the white one driven by Jamie Farr.
It's just for show, of course, but I found out recently that that is a 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III, called "Lady J" by its owner seen polishing the hood.
Here's a local newspaper article about it.
This was a privately owned car that was used in a Beverly Hills limousine rental service. The owner/driver drove dozens of celebrities, perhaps hundreds, around the LA area in the 1970s and 1980s. It's appeared in a bunch of movies including Cannonball Run.
The car is currently owned by the original owner's daughter in Northern Kentucky, and is taken to car shows and other special events. I saw it at a car show this past weekend, where a movie mystery was finally solved: what was that other Rolls Royce doing in Cannonball Run?
